Merry Christmas from the Loire Valley
We should point out there's rarely snow on Chenonceau !
Chateau de
Chenonceau is a joy to visit
at any time of year but if
you are visiting over
Christmas and the new year
it is even more magical with
Christmas trees and bouquets
sumptuously displayed in
every room of the castle
